HomeSuccessful fundraising for preservation and conservation
Free workshop
Thursday 4 October 2012
British Library Centre for Conservation
96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB
Location Details
This workshop explains how to include conservation and preservation activities in funding bids. It covers the type of information to include, how to generate that information, and how to prepare briefs for external conservators and specify surveys. Guidance is provided on what funders are looking for in applications and discussion sessions draw on group experience to encourage fresh approaches to fundraising.
Participants must send a 250-300 word summary of the project or activity for which they are fund-raising a week in advance of the training day – you will be asked for this once your place has been confirmed. The summary forms the basis for practical sessions throughout the day during which participants are encouraged to discuss and share their work.
